Your images are what I was getting from my 75 when I used it on my M6.  When
I switched to my M3 I got the pictures you have seen me post.  As was
suggested to me, you might have to have the 75's cam adjusted to your M6.  I
think what is happening is misfocus, so the suggestion to set a yardstick at
a 45 degree angle and focus on the 18 inch mark at about 4 feet from your
camera is a good way to test the theory of focus slightly off. Plus, you
won't need a sunny day to check.

With my experience on the M6 and the challenge you are having I am beginning
to understand why there is such a love/hate relationship with this lens.
